How to Be a Priest

Bruce Wesley

Summary

The sermon explores the universal human experience of feeling like an outsider and how the Christian concept of the "priesthood of all believers" offers a solution to this fundamental sense of disconnection. Drawing on biblical references from Genesis, Exodus, and 1 Peter, the speaker explains how humans were originally insiders with God in Eden but became outsiders through sin, creating a persistent longing for acceptance. The key takeaway is that through embracing one's identity as a "priest unto God," individuals can move from feeling marginalized to experiencing genuine belonging and connection with God and community.
